PINK INTERIOR TREND | LA VIE EN ROSE *Maison&Objet 2017 edition

If asked for the main colour for this Maison et Objet 2017, no doubt I’d say pink.

Second choice would be green, already a huge trend for some time,both as natural green (yes the Pantone 2017 greenery) and as dark green, so not as a new as pink is in my opinion (already talked about green in Maison&Objet 2016 report, remember here?)

Pink is the interior trend for this 2017, then.

Pink in Paris was themain colour of several of the most popular brands, in their stands fit out, in new products launches or new releases of existing products.

I’m quite sure that this massive pink trend has something to do with the weird couple ofPantone 2016: yes actually those two colours, Serenity and Rose Quartz, that looked almost impossible to be used in interiors when Pantone 2016 was announced last year…but then, here they are. On closer view, in Paris we saw also the Serenity effect with lots of shades of blues and light blues.

Pink is the perfect colour to sweeten all those dark and muted colours which are a trend at present, like blues, greens, greys.

Pink looks also perfect together with earthy colours, with terracotta, burgundy red, tans. This kind of colour match has a long history in the past: remember the accent wall in Le Corbusier’s Ville Savoye? Yes, it was a pink one.

Also, pink is beautiful in its most neutral and nude hues, like a second skin colour.

If you think that all this pink might look a little bit too feminine and romantic, you’re wrong: pink matched with the black lines, another must for this season, gives a masculine touch even to the most feminine colour hue

Pink interior trend : the hues

Sweet pastel hues, such as cotton candy pink, as a direct heritage of Pantone 2016 then. Nude pink, a lot. Blush pink, so-called the millennial pink: in its dusty variety, matched with velvet and metals, for a retro and sophisticated mood.

The pink that is a trend this year is a muted one, even if I also noticed in several brands the use of a very bright pink, a Baker-Miller pink shade, which you just cannot notice. Let’s see!

Something curious about pink: today pink is associated with the female gender, but in the 18th century it was perfectly masculine for a man to wear a pink suit. Pink was just a diminutive of red. Then times have changed, as well as fashion and colours. Know more here
